April 26 - We had a strong showing today with 3 first time visitors! We had one baptized. Due to the attendance through the month of April, this month has been our strongest month yet, breaking the last High Average Monthly attendance. Our record was 129 from last October and now our new High Average Weekly attendance for any given month is 146 - Praise the Lord! Then in the evening service we had a very large crowd. If we did not break a record there I will be surprised (still need to collect data). We had a great time after the evening service just fellowshipping around some goodies.
April 19 - Another great day in the Lord's house. We had a wonderful number of 147 with two first time visitors. Then on Sunday night the three first time Sunday evening visitors from April 12 returned. Also, the man that had gotten saved after the previous Sunday night service was here too! What a blessing! We had a very strong Sunday night crowd too.
April 15 - We had a high attendance of 55 for our mid-week service, though it was very heavy rain!
April 12 - April has been a wonderful month and today was no exception!
1) One saved after PM service!
2) 144 were in attendance (even though some of our own members were not present)
3) A wonderful offertory special
4) Four were baptized!
5) Two married couples joined the church
6) PM service - a wonderful public testimony time - what a blessing to hear how the Lord is blessing in personal lives!
Please keep praying.
April 5 - Easter Sunday! What a day!
1) Four stood saying that they were saved!
2) 161 were in attendance - (1 shy from tying the ALL TIME attendance record and 2 shy from breaking it)!

Do you attend church where you are growing in the Lord? As I say from the pulpit often regarding church attendance - 'You need to go where you are being fed'. My dear friend, are you being fed where you attend? Are you being challenged to become more like Christ? Are you being convicted by ANY sin in your life? Are you just going through the 'religious motions'? Please come and visit us just one time and see if you hear the Lord speak to your heart.
